Document

Documents can be found at https://libcopp.atframe.work, API references can be found at https://libcopp.atframe.work/doxygen/html/. (Generated by MkDocs with docs/mkdocs.yml and Doxygen with docs/libcopp.doxyfile.in.)

UPGRADE FROM 1.3.X-1.4.X to 2.X

  • Add using value_type = int; into T when using cotask::task<T>.
  • Rename stack_allocator_t to stack_allocator_type in T when using cotask::task<T>.
  • Rename coroutine_t to coroutine_type in T when using cotask::task<T>.
  • Rename libcopp::util::* to copp::util::.
  • We are not allowed to use libcopp::util::intrusive_ptr<cotask::impl::task_impl> now, please use cotask::task<T>::ptr_type instead.

UPGRADE FROM 1.2.X to 1.3.X-1.4.X

  • Rename cotask::task::await into cotask::task::await_task.
  • Replace cotask::task<TCO_MACRO, TTASK_MACRO> with cotask::task<TCO_MACRO>, we don't allow to custom id allocator now.
  • Replace cotask::core::standard_int_id_allocator<uint64_t> with copp::util::uint64_id_allocator, we don't allow to custom id allocator now.
  • Require gcc 4.8+, MSVC 15+(Visual Studio 2017>).
  • Require cmake 3.12.0 or upper.

INSTALL

libcopp use cmake to generate makefile and switch build tools.

Prerequisites

  • [required] GCC or Clang or MSVC or clang-cl support ISO C++ 11 and upper
  • [required] cmake 3.16.0 and upper
  • [optional] gtest 1.6.0 and upper (Better unit test supported)
  • [optional] Boost.Test (Boost.Test supported)

Unix

  • [required] ar, as, ld (binutils) or llvm
  • [optional] if using gtest, pthread is required.

Windows

  • [required] masm (in MSVC)
  • [optional] if using gtest, pthread is required.

Install with vcpkg

  1. Clone and setup vcpkg (See more detail on https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg)

    git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
    cd vcpkg
    PS> bootstrap-vcpkg.bootstrap
    Linux:~/$ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
    
  2. Install libcopp

    PS> .\vcpkg install libcopp [--triplet x64-windows-static/x64-windows/x64-windows-static-md and etc...]
    Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg install libcopp
    
  3. See using with cmake for cmake below.

Custom Build

  1. Clone and make a build directory

    git clone --single-branch --depth=1 -b master https://github.com/owent/libcopp.git
    mkdir libcopp/build && cd libcopp/build
    
  2. Run cmake command

    # cmake <libcopp dir> [options...]
    cmake .. -DPROJECT_ENABLE_UNITTEST=YES -DPROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES
    
  3. Make libcopp

    cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo # or make [options] when using Makefile
    
  4. Run test/sample/benchmark [optional]

    # Run test => Required: PROJECT_ENABLE_UNITTEST=YES
    ctest -VV . -C RelWithDebInfo -L libcopp.unit_test
    # Run sample => Required: PROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES
    ctest -VV . -C RelWithDebInfo -L libcopp.sample
    # Run benchmark => Required: PROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES
    ctest -VV . -C RelWithDebInfo -L libcopp.benchmark
    
  5. Install [optional]

    cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target install # or make install when using Makefile
    
  6. Then just include and link libcopp.*/libcotask.*, or see using with cmake for cmake below.

CMake Options

Options can be cmake options. such as set compile toolchains, source directory or options of libcopp that control build actions. libcopp options are listed below:

| Option | Description | | --- | --- | | BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=YES|NO | [default=NO] Build dynamic library. | | LIBCOPP_ENABLE_SEGMENTED_STACKS=YES|NO | [default=NO] Enable split stack supported context.(it's only availabe in linux and gcc 4.7.0 or upper) | | LIBCOPP_ENABLE_VALGRIND=YES|NO | [default=YES] Enable valgrind supported context. | | PROJECT_ENABLE_UNITTEST=YES|NO | [default=NO] Build unit test. | | PROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES|NO | [default=NO] Build samples. | | LIBCOPP_ENABLE_MULTI_THREAD=YES|NO | [default=YES] Enable multi-thread support. | | LIBCOTASK_ENABLE=YES|NO | [default=YES] Enable build libcotask. | | LIBCOPP_FCONTEXT_USE_TSX=YES|NO | [default=YES] Enable Intel Transactional Synchronisation Extensions (TSX). | | LIBCOPP_MACRO_TLS_STACK_PROTECTOR=YES|NO | [default=NO] Users need set LIBCOPP_MACRO_TLS_STACK_PROTECTOR=ON when compiling with -fstack-protector. Because it changes the default context switching logic. | | GTEST_ROOT=[path] | set gtest library install prefix path | | BOOST_ROOT=[path] | set Boost.Test library install prefix path |

USAGE

Using with cmake

  1. Using set(Libcopp_ROOT <where to find libcopp/INSTALL_PREFIX>)

  2. Just using find_package(Libcopp) to use libcopp module.

  3. Example:(we assume the target name is stored in ${CUSTOM_TARGET_NAME})

    find_package(Libcopp CONFIG REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(${CUSTOM_TARGET_NAME} libcopp::cotask)
    # Or just using copp by target_link_libraries(${CUSTOM_TARGET_NAME} libcopp::copp)
    

If using MSVC and vcpkg, CRT must match the triplet of vcpkg, these codes below may be helpful:

if (MSVC AND VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN)
    if(DEFINED ENV{VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET} AND NOT DEFINED VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET)
        set(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET "$ENV{VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET}" CACHE STRING "")
    endif()
    if (VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET MATCHES "^.*windows-static$")
        set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>" CACHE STRING "")
    else ()
        set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>DLL" CACHE STRING "")
    endif ()
endif ()

See more detail on https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/libcopp.

Directly use headers and libraries

Just include headers and linking library file of your platform to use libcopp.
